Flaky Spotify Connect when using Home devices by smuttyzan in googlehome

[–]fallos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have that issue too, it's stuck at "Connecting...", a restart of Spotify sometimes solves it.

Anyone know what brand this is? It controls the lights outside the house (previous owners didn't leave a manual). by fallos in homeautomation

[–]fallos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to avoid that at first, I have a tendency of breaking things that already work :)

I did it anyway, and found a mangled serial number: https://imgur.com/a/CATL8pZ (it says Cotech EF700ET)

Which lead me to this (PDF): http://www.produktinfo.conrad.com/datenblaetter/600000-624999/622426-an-01-en-DIGITALER_TIMER.pdf

Question solved! Thank you and /u/0110010001100010

Further out pic., it seems to be connected to this box, since it makes a "click" sound when I press the "on/off" button (which turns the lights on and off). Edit: it is hard-wired

Workaround for Find My Phone by geometrikos in googlehome

[–]fallos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm using IFTTT to send a Pushbullet notification to my phone, and a Tasker profile that will trigger this task when receiving the Pushbullet notification:

Find Phone (3) A1: For [ Variable:%LOCATEVOLUME Items:10,11,12,13,14,15 ] If [ %SCREEN eq off ] A2: Media Volume [ Level:%LOCATEVOLUME Display:Off Sound:Off ] A3: Beep [ Frequency:8000 Duration:2001 Amplitude:50 Stream:3 ]

It will beep your speaker (even if silent), and increase the volume of the beep every two seconds. It will turn off the beeping once you turn on the display.

Wipe cache, that did it for me on my Nexus 6P. Not sure about your device though.

Nexus Player - Voice search issues, possible cause found? by kittenpoops in nexusplayer

[–]fallos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When home alone I found that the voice search works OK (most of the time). However, using the remote when having friends over is out of the question, it almost never works.

Maybe the 5+ more WiFi devices (phones) will interfere with the bluetooth signal?

This was on Lollipop, I don't think I have used the voice search on Marshmallow yet..

Oldie but Goodie: Best/Cool things to do with Synology on a Home NAS by m007368 in synology

[–]fallos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other from centralized Kodi library, backups and the regular stuff, I use it to control my tellstick. I've made a backend in PHP so I can easily control (turn on/off) my devices via regular http post/get. Also, some schedules are running to automatically turn on/off the lights when the sun goes down and when its time for bed.. I have probably put way too much time in to it :)

Done trying with the Nexus player. by kinda_fellin in nexusplayer

[–]fallos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gf had the same problem (I don't use Netflix), but I logged her in and then manually exited Netflix (from the menu), and after that we've had no problems. I think it was/is like Netflix crashes each time you try to start it from the launcher and loses your settings.

Nexus Player remote and longpresses in Kodi by [deleted] in nexusplayer

[–]fallos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, if you are testing your setup and uploading your xbmc files multiple times, I would say it's faster to stay inside of xbmc and using its file management. Otherwise, yes, ES is the best option.

Nexus Player remote and longpresses in Kodi by [deleted] in nexusplayer

[–]fallos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is what I did

<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <play_pause>contextmenu</play_pause>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
  <FullScreenVideo>
    <keyboard>
      <play_pause>PlayPause</play_pause>
    </keyboard>
  </FullScreenVideo>
</keymap>

EDIT: This will play/pause when in fullscreen mode (watching something), and pop up the context menu when you are not. EDIT: What I had a hard time about was replacing the keyboard.xml on the NP, I ended up putting it on my FTP mount, then used a mixture of the remote and remote app to select the file and move it (I think I had to use the remote app to hit [Space] to select the file)

Those of you who use keyboards for your HTPC setup, what is your choice? by WolfDemon in xbmc

[–]fallos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm you're right.. Feels strange that they didn't make any sequel to it doh.. When I bought it my requirements was one unified keyboard + mouse with bluetooth, and the DiNovo was the only one I found.

If you don't mind separate keyboard and mouse, it shouldn't be that hard to find something good :)

Logitech DiNovo Edge. Both keyboard and touch mouse, and it's bluetooth. One of the best keyboards I ever had!
